Heather Anne Campbell, one of the funniest people around, carefully assembled team of great improvisers who also happen to enjoy anime for The Anime Show.

In any case, it’s pretty damn fun and, because it’s at The Pack Theater, admission is pay what you can.

This latest edition of The Anime Show will happen on Saturday, October 21st at 10PM.

After gaining international critical acclaim at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Natalie Palamides’ groundbreaking show returns home for another run at The Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe.

Also, the show’s director (and Fringe Festival favorite), Dr. Brown, will attempt to perform the show. Show description reads (probably written by Natalie): 
Dr. Brown has been developing this show with Natalie for over a year and knows the show like the back of his hand… SO HE THINKS. Come watch Dr. Brown crash and burn OR, more likely, blow the show so far out of the water that Natalie hands the role over to him forever. Following the show the audience is welcome to watch Natalie give notes on his performance.

Get tickets for LAID here and the Dr. Brown Edition here.

Basically, this is probably somewhere between Comedy Bang! Bang! and Shark Tank that actually awards $1000 grants to one lucky entrepreneur.

More specifically: 
The Awesome Foundation is a worldwide network of people devoted to forwarding the interest of awesomeness in the universe. The Foundation distributes a series of monthly $1,000 grants to projects and their creators. The money is pooled together from the coffers of our self-organizing “micro-trustees” and given upfront in cash, check, or gold doubloons (but never actually in gold doubloons). 

Matt Walsh, Scot Armstrong, Andy Richter, Brad Morris, Allison Raskin, and Jamie Denbo will make up the special panel for this Awesome Foundation Comedy Show.

Tickets are $25 and you can (and should) get them here. Also, you can get a VIP ticket that includes a meet-and-greet with Matt Walsh and Scot Armstrong before the show and a premium seat for $200.
